CAR Brudder Invisible Jackson in
de hall tonight" blandly queried the
president as the meeting opened.
Invisible was visible. He was back
by the stove, and had his shoes off to
tickle his chilblainS. After little de-
lay he made his way to the upper end
of the hall, and the president contin-
ued:
"Brudder Jackson, de report has
come to me dat you are tellin' fortunes
in your nayburhood fur de small sum
of two bits pusson.
"Yes, sab, I'ze bin tellin' few"
"As you hev been a member of dis

Invisible was badly broken up, and
there were tears in his eyes as he
passed out. When he had gone the
president continued:

DURABLE ROOFS.
The Advisab ility of Using Tiles in Place OF
Slate or Cedar Shingles.

The ACCESSIBILITY of Using Tiles in Place OF
Slate or Cedar Shingles.
A slate roof under the action of fire,
and particularly if water is thrown on
il while hot, cracks and flies in all d.
reetions, opening crevices through
which strong draught is Immediately
set up, increasing the fury of the
flames in the building which the roof
is supposed to protect. On this &C.
count even cedar shingles are preferred
TO slate for roofing by experienced
fire engineers, for the reason that, in
flammable as they are, the shingles do
not fly to pieces when a cinder falls on
them, but char, and, until burned
through, at least, serve to prevent fire
inside the building from breaking out
of the roof Tiles, unlike slate. never
crack or fly, but keep their place even
when red hot; and their thickness and
nOn-conducting property enable them
to keep the heat from cinders or burn
ing brands for an indefinite time from
affecting the boarding beneath them.
The main objections to the use of tiles
in this country have hitherto been their
cost and the difficulty of laying them
SO as to keep out our fine, drifting
SHOWS, but with a little effort, particu-
larly if architects and insurance man
ayers would only act in concert in the
matter, both defects might be over

soon make tiles rs cheap here as they
are in England or France or Germany,
where they are the universal roof COW
ering, and roofs made with them might
easily be made. not only impervious to
snow, but proof against the shaking of
winds or earthquakes by laying them
in mortar or cement This, with cheap
tiles would not be an expensive matter,
and while slate roof constantly needs
repairs, tiles in cement, laid upon
roof of simple form, are almost indie
structible. Thousands OF roofs in
France and Germany. laid in this way
four or five hundred years ago, are still
in good condition, and they are not

The contest over the Lieutenant. Gov
ernorship in Indiana has been decided
by the Circuit Court in favor of the
right of Senator Smith to preside over
that body as President pro tempore, and
against the Republican candidate, Rob-
ertson, who was elected Lieutenant Gov
ernor last fall, on the ground that there
was no vacancy, the Presidentzgn0stems
pore succeeding to the position upon the
death or inability Of the Lieut.. Governor.
The effect of this decision was. expected
to lead to fight over the United States
Senatorship. The Republican caucus
renominated Senator Harrison, while
the Democratic caucus nominated Judge
Turpe. The Republican majority in the
House were unwilling to concede that
they were entirely wrong, or 10 turn the
joint assembly over to Senator Smith, SO
that compromise was effected between
the House and the Senate by which
Senator Smith presides, but the Speaker
of the House holds the gavel. The
election has begun, and number of
ballots have been taken, on the last of
four or FIVE of which the vote stands,
Turpe, rs; Harrison, IL; Allen, 4. The
Legislature is now taking but one ballot
day, and the election is uncertain. The
Democrats have majority, but there are
some members of the party who will not
vote for Judge Turpe.

the following advice to the farmers of
Anderson County:
"Beware I'VE notice that 'our old
friend Mr.. w. w. Russell, of Green.

active interest in Anderson politics. It
would be we'll for our brethren over the
river to keep wake eye on him, as he is
as tricky as fox. Lookout that you
don't 6nd him spy in the camp"
Mr.. Russell's peculiar position on
some matters before the Farmers Con-
veution savors strongly of politics, and
doubtless gave rise to the warning con.
tained in this extract. Mr.. Russell is
always found fighting the leaders of the
Democratic party, and criticising its
actions. He is almost too unanimously
ready to criticise to be entirely disinter.

"A stout Irish woman, q servant em.
ployed by DR.. Otis, Of New York, fell
down stairs a week ago. A thin glass
bottle she had in her hand broke and
broken piece entered her neck. DR.. Otis
ran to her, pulled the glass out and just
in the nick of time got his thumb aud
finger in the right place and stopped
the bleeding, the jugular vein being sew
cred and the carotid artery being injured.
The pulse was then imperceptible. The
woman was carefully removed to room,
DR.. Otis holding the veins. Partly
digested food was syringed into her
her stomach through silver tube in one
nostril to prevent her swallowing. The
food had to be 80 regulated as to make
an increased action of the heart, and
resulting pressure on the arteries very
gradual. DR.. Otis had sling made 10

fingers iu the same position twenty-six
hours until clot formed. The woman
will probably recover, and if she does
her case will be the first one of recovery

spoke rather disparagiDgly of the whole
prohibition busineas-not in plain words
but by strong implication. It suid in
substance that Anderson begins the trial
of prohibition as the'. '.cities of Spartan
burg and Laurens give it up after trying
it two years, and that it would watch
with interest the course of events in
Anderson. Now, it is easy to say that
this is good prohibition doctrine, and all
that, but the trouble is, that it is equally
as easy for the other side to claim the
Courier as opposed to prohibition. 1t
tells US, however, that it belonged to the
great prohibition army. Theoretically,
the paper does advocate prohibition, but
its influence in this direction is not prac.
tical when it criticises generally without
giving the facts.
The Courier complains that it is liable
to be misrepresented, but it must bear in
mind that other papers can also be mis-
represented. We have published both
our own and the Courier's articles, while
the Courier has not published ours at all.
Will it be equally fair with us?
The information that the Courier will
keep its own conscience is gratifying to
its friends. We were really afraid that
our contemporary had lost its conscience.
1t has certainly given great pleasure to
the bar rooms and anti prohibitionists by
its late articles, and we are satisfied that
if it will keep its own conscience, and
be governed by its dictates, we shall ex-
pecs to see it deal more fairly by the
prohibilioniats,
